Departure day

We intend to depart tonight, I don’t know how we’ve made it here but the last few days have been a blur. On Saturday I shaved my head, then met up with luke to put our own artwork on the car. With spray cans at the ready we jumped right in and gave the white canvas a splattering of hippy colours and designs. We didn’t get started until late and sunlight was not on our side. Therefore I have not actually been able to see what the final product looks like in its full glory. Sunday / Monday / Tuesday I have been in bed solidly for the last three days hit with a bout of the Flu all last minute preparation is out the window I can barely stand let alone do any organisation. Wednesday, I decided that I ought to try to get to work to finish off some remaining work before I leave and at the same time to gather any remaining documents for the journey. (I still have to arrange my international drivers permit! Print copies of my travel insurance, passport, drivers license, visa’s etc!!) after an unsympathetic conversation from my manager (Mr pedantic) I realise how unappreciated I am and probably should have stayed in bed to recover from my cold instead of coming to work.

The more you learn the less you know

This is a phrase that I first heard years ago, and to be honest its never been more apt. whenever I seem to get anything done for this trip I always seem to think of a hundred more things that we haven’t done. To say we are unprepared is an understatement we are strolling into the lions den and have no idea what awaits us.
